The album got pushed to 2008, more like an April/May release

THEY  MIGHT  PUT IT ON DOWNLOAD IN APRIL AND POSTPOND THE CD'S

i wouldn't mind just as long it was a lossless download... but if they went and "did the radiohead", i'd be bloody disappointed and mad.

Seconded.

[Janko]

I WOULDNT MIND A FREE PREVIEW, BECAUSE I'LL BUY THE CD ('S) EITHER WAY...
AND IF I HAVE TO WAIT UNTILL JUNE-JULY, I'D TAKE IT!

Thank you very much for your help monghi and the link

I hope the album will be released earlier, but i won't be sad if it will be out in the summer

[figurehead]

Is it me or everyone here seems like waiting so much this new l.p. ?
After all what are you expecting to hear?
Another Porno? Kiss Me No. 2?
Or what?
Ouh come on,take a break people.
If you want my opinion i don't care anymore about a new album or a new single,enough.
As far as they can tour around the world & play some excellent live shows that is enough & fair.What if they are gonna release or not?What is the real difference?I think none.

[Janko]

I EXPECT THE NEW ALBUM TO BE LIKE 2004'S THE CURE ONLY WITH DIFFERENT PRODUCTION...

[figurehead]

Yes ,exactly my thoughts.
Ouh maybe with some more songs in it & of course don't forget : No kbds.
But who really cares?
At least i hope they won't play a lot of new songs at live shows at this European Tour.I prefer the old stuff,something like Mexico's playlists.

[Janko]

I THINK THIS ALBUM IS SO IMPORTANT...

IF THEY MAKE A MESS OF IT (BECAUSE OF A NEW LINE-UP, THE FACT THAT IT'S A DOUBLE ALBUM, NO KEYBOARDS THING...) IT WILL BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO RECOVER AND THE CURE WILL FADE AWAY IN NEXT FEW YEARS, THEY WILL TURN INTO "SELF-TRIBUTE BAND" PLAYING THEIR HITS TO SMALLER AND SMALLER AUDIENCE

IF THEY MAKE A RELEVANT ALBUM (IN TUNE WITH BOTH THEIR OWN HERITAGE AND WITH THE CURRENT TRENDS IN MUSIC) THAT WOULD (BESIDE PLEASING BOTH FANS AND CRITICS) GAIN NEW AUDIENCE FOR THE BAND AND HAVE SOME DECENT CHART PERFORMANCE - IT COULD SAVE THE BAND FROM THE EVIDENT STAGNATION

I'D GIVE IT FIFTY-FIFTY BETWEEN THOSE OPTIONS...

[figurehead]

My opinion?
No matter if the album will be good or bad,i believe it will be the last one of The Cure's.

[silversand]

Speak of the devil and the devil shows up figurehead!   
I hope it won't be the last one

My opinion?
No matter if the album will be good or bad,i believe it will be the last one of The Cure's.

I do believe that the band is contractually obliged to release three albums thru their new record label.. so i think we have one more after this one coming....

at least

J

last rumoured release date is March 31 too...

[Janko]

... so i think we have one more after this one coming....

YEAH!

THE VERY BEST OF THE CURE

[figurehead]

hmmm...
that soundz like *'Inspiral Carpets' doesn't it?

[rodney]

My understanding of the contract is that if they choose to release new albums, they're obligated to release them through Geffin (three albums, starting with The Cure) but they're not obligated to deliver that amount.  Just release them through Geffin if they choose to record them.
